How is Tyrese Maxey celebrating his record-setting debut? By going to class, of course. UK Athletics’ Nathan Schwake snapped this picture of Maxey and Ashton Hagans heading to their 9 a.m. class this morning, mere hours after their plane landed in Lexington at 4:30 a.m.

What’s even more impressive is that Maxey put the Cats on his back while his father is dealing with an illness.
